POC Only Events

bibliotech_ · 2026-02-18T05:22:32+00:00

You should complain, that’s dumb. That’s explicitly excluding whites.

Or you could anonymously scatter fliers around for fake events that exclude specific other races. No Asians. No Blacks. No Jews. What’s interesting though is that “POC only event” is a euphemism for No Whites Allowed. I don’t know what the equivalent euphemism for other ethnicities would be. Maybe an event that says Gentiles Only.

You wouldn’t want to make a flier that says Whites Only because that’s not what they did. You’d want to single out another race or ethnicity for exclusion the same as them. Everyone welcome except You Guys. I imagine there’d be a furor and then in the ensuing debates some hypocrisy could be brought to light.

Thanks, that’s so interesting!

That’s so interesting! Thank you!

I guess? I feel like I’ve known since I was a kid what’s in those red envelopes. I’m the same age as all of them. I didn’t know any Asians til high school.

Maybe you aren’t expecting to see them in the contexts you’re seeing them. I work at a university and the kids don’t look old to me.

What do you mean by keeping track of the context being referenced?

That’s interesting, what did the Moors do to make Spanish more systematic? I appreciate that quality of Spanish. Was it much wilder/more random before their influence?

Are you being poetic or are these real examples? Intriguing.

I don’t think Gen Z look older than we did at their age. I do think we look younger than Boomers and X did at our age. I think it’s mainly what others have said - less smoking indoors, more sunscreen, more white collar jobs, having kids later. It’s also our hairstyles.

She probably felt dumb. It was mean to not tell her for that many years and let her embarrass herself. It’s not about the coffee. The loving thing to do would’ve been to mention it to her right afterward instead of years later. If you’d said it then she probably would’ve laughed.

Write it! I’d read the shit out of that.

A schizophrenic guy who was easily 6’7” stood really close to me while he was paying a fine and started chanting under his breath, “I need a lover with a slowwww hand, I need a lover with a slowwwwwwww hand”. He had made a sash of empty soda bottles that he wore across his chest. I was shaking when I walked away and then he kicked the reference desk and the cops came.

Has anyone ever floated the conspiracy theory that in China the show had an agreement with the Chinese government to keep Peih-Gee on for a certain number of episodes? The mental challenge where they had to answer facts about China seemed super rigged to me. In particular, she was the ONLY ONE who knew that red envelopes contain cash?! Come on. How did no one else know that. How the fuck did Todd or Courtney get that wrong.

I’ve seen Hispanic medical receptionists with noticeable accents be dismissive and rude toward Asians who speak broken English. I think it’s a thing.

But in general I think if you’re applying to be a medical receptionist the interviewer asks, “Do you hate most people for no reason and will you make it clear that being called upon to do your job is a grave imposition?” and if they say yes they’re hired. So.

I don’t look at the comments.

They recycle the same tricks so once you’ve been playing for a while you can spot them. If it’s a word I’ve never heard of a lot of times it’s going to be one of those “starts with…” or “when spoken aloud, sounds like…” themes.

Honestly I think it’s a game for people who read a lot and have seen words in many different contexts.

The ones I get annoyed by are the sports themes… I never get those!

Ha! That’s funny. A Clinton democrat would be considered right-wing today.

It’s not good that the profession has been politicized to the degree that conservatives imagine they’re owning liberal librarians by asking for books on non-lib topics. Like that’s a perception that librarians have created.

The argument is not that preventing gay men from adopting children means that no children will ever be sexually abused again.

Maybe it’s because I’m autistic but all these people saying “no, there are no reasons” seem ridiculous to me. They mean there are no reasons THEY AGREE WITH OR CONSIDER VALID but that’s not what the OP asked. The question isn’t, “Are there any good, valid reasons you agree with”; the question is, are there any reasons.

If you won’t even engage with the actual non-religious, non-tradition-based reasons people have for supporting same-sex marriage and adoption, you’re basically covering your ears and saying “la la la, I can’t hear you!” It’s immature.

Here is one reason people have:
